WARNING/ALARM 12, Torque limit
The torque has exceeded the value in 4-16 Torque Limit
Motor Mode or the value in 4-17 Torque Limit Generator
Mode. 14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit can change this from
a warning only condition to a warning followed by an
alarm.
Troubleshooting
If the motor torque limit is exceeded during ramp
up, extend the ramp up time.
If the generator torque limit is exceeded during
ramp down, extend the ramp down time.
If torque limit occurs while running, possibly
increase the torque limit. Make sure that the
system can operate safely at a higher torque.
Check the application for excessive current draw
on the motor.
WARNING/ALARM 13, Over current
The inverter peak current limit (approximately 200% of the
rated current) is exceeded. The warning lasts about 1.5 s,
then the frequency converter trips and issues an alarm.
This fault can be caused by shock loading or quick
acceleration with high inertia loads. It can also appear after
kinetic back-up if the acceleration during ramp up is quick.
If extended mechanical brake control is selected, trip can
be reset externally.
Troubleshooting
Remove power and check if the motor shaft can
be turned.
Check that the motor size matches the frequency
converter.
Check parameters 1-20 to 1-25 for correct motor
data.
ALARM 14, Earth (ground) fault
There is current from the output phases to earth, either in
the cable between the frequency converter and the motor
or in the motor itself.
Troubleshooting
Remove power to the frequency converter and
repair the earth fault.
Check for earth faults in the motor by measuring
the resistance to ground of the motor leads and
the motor with a megohmmeter.
ALARM 15, Hardware mismatch
A fitted option is not operational with the present control
board hardware or software.
Record the value of the following parameters and contact
your Xylem supplier:
15-40 FC Type
15-41 Power Section
15-42 Voltage
15-43 Software Version
15-45 Actual Typecode String
15-49 SW ID Control Card
15-50 SW ID Power Card
15-60 Option Mounted
15-61 Option SW Version (for each option slot)
ALARM 16, Short circuit
There is short-circuiting in the motor or motor wiring.
Remove power to the frequency converter and repair the
short circuit.
WARNING/ALARM 17, Control word timeout
There is no communication to the frequency converter.
The warning is only active when 8-04 Control Word Timeout
Function is NOT set to [0] Off.
If 8-04 Control Word Timeout Function is set to [5] Stop and
Trip, a warning appears and the frequency converter ramps
down until it stops then displays an alarm.
Troubleshooting
Check connections on the serial communication
cable.
Increase 8-03 Control Word Timeout Time
Check the operation of the communication
equipment.
Verify a proper installation based on EMC
requirements.
ALARM 18, Start failed
The speed has not been able to exceed 1-77 Compressor
Start Max Speed [RPM] during start within the allowed time.
(set in 1-79 Compressor Start Max Time to Trip). This may be
caused by a blocked motor.
WARNING 23, Internal fan fault
The fan warning function is an extra protective function
that checks if the fan is running/mounted. The fan warning
can be disabled in 14-53 Fan Monitor ([0] Disabled).
For the D, E, and F Frame filters, the regulated voltage to
the fans is monitored.
Troubleshooting
Check for proper fan operation.
Cycle power to the frequency converter and
check that the fan operates briefly at start-up.
Check the sensors on the heatsink and control
card.
WARNING 24, External fan fault
The fan warning function is an extra protective function
that checks if the fan is running/mounted. The fan warning
can be disabled in 14-53 Fan Monitor ([0] Disabled).
Troubleshooting
Check for proper fan operation.
Cycle power to the frequency converter and
check that the fan operates briefly at start-up.
